Amendments to Policy Statement to Regulation 52-107 respecting Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards
Canadian securities regulators amended Policy Statement to Regulation 52-107 to mandate electronic transmission of documents to regulators via SEDAR+. This requirement applies to all documents required or permitted to be filed or delivered, excluding those in Québec, to align with the phased implementation of the new data system. Market participants must consult Regulation 13-103 to identify specific exclusions and ensure compliance with the updated electronic filing protocols.

AMENDMENTS TO POLICY STATEMENT TO REGULATION 52-107 RESPECTING
ACCEPTABLE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND AUDITING STANDARDS
- Policy Statement to Regulation 52-107 respecting Acceptable Accounting Principles
and Auditing Standards is amended by inserting, after section 1.5, the following:
“1.5.1. Electronic Transmission
Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and
Retrieval + (SEDAR+) (insert reference) prescribes that each document that is required or
permitted to be provided to a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority
must be transmitted to the regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority
electronically through the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+).
The reference to a document includes any report, form, application, information,
material and notice, as well as a copy thereof, and applies to documents that are required or
permitted to be filed or deposited with, or delivered, furnished, sent, provided, submitted or
otherwise transmitted to, a regulator, except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority.
To reflect the phased implementation of SEDAR+, the Appendix of Regulation
13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) sets out
securities legislation under which documents are excluded from being filed or delivered in
SEDAR+.
Regulation 13-103 respecting System for Electronic Data Analysis and
Retrieval + (SEDAR+) should be consulted when providing any document to a regulator,
except in Québec, or securities regulatory authority under the Regulation and this Policy
Statement.”.
